‘So we kept each other company, in that cold rain as the construction cannons’ embers lit up the night. He slept, and I watched the old world become the new.’

Speaking of Grumps...

“I’m on vacation, do ya mind?”

Decided I’d post this here as well instead of just on the Burrow, though not reblogging it from the burrow for, well, reasons.

“So let’s start from the beginning. I wasn’t much of anything back then, I had basic knowledge of my magic, dabbling in Tartarian rites, and void energies. My study on Alicorns and their time of rule had barely begun, I wouldn’t have even considered it a hobby at that point. I was just a shop clerk in a walled town deep in the northern forests, well, clerk and part time pain in the mayor’s arse.

But Morning Tide and I made up for those moments by being useful. After all, everypony needs and alchemist or the like when they get sick. Or cursed. We were the only two kelpies in town, although certainly not the most exotic of creatures.

The northern forests of Equestria are known for their strangeness. In the times of chaos as the old Alicorn Empire broke apart in the absence of the Regal Mother, it’s said that a vampony took control of those realms. Oddly legends say he was a gentle ruler, crushing the agents of Tartarus under an unending wall of fallen soldiery and uniting the scattered towns and fiefdoms in the region under on banner - Ebonhoof. Strangely though the city of Ebonhoof and it’s ruler seem to vanish into obscurity around the time of the Equestrian Civil War.

Needless to say kelpies were certainly not the biggest oddities in that region. Granted on this rather dreary morning neither me nor Morning Tide knew the oddities we were about to encounter personally.”

I had actually started on this page eons ago and kept having to push it back for one thing or another. I recently started work on trying to get it finished, so that hopefully I can finally get around to working on this story.

It’ll be somewhat interactive. Many events are set in stone, but the methods as to how they come about are optional in many places.

I’ll likely be doing cameos in the backgrounds of pages, so keep a look out!

And, I… I’d like to personally thank you all for sticking with me, and encouraging me to even begin. You guys really are the best, and I am utterly undeserving of such wonderful followers.
